Conbraco Industries Inc

American-Made Success Since 1928

Conbraco Industries was created when two Detroit-based manufacturers of brass valves and fittings merged in 1928, forming Consolidated Brass Company. Ninety years later, Conbraco is an American success story that's still being written.

The company, now known as Apollo® Valves, earned a reputation for developing new products to meet emerging market demands. In 1968, the company introduced its Apollo® Series 70 ball valve to the commercial market.

A revolutionary innovation at the time, the product became the most specified ball valve in the world. Line extensions have resulted in new materials, new sizes, and new applications for the classic Apollo ball valve.

In 2005, the company brought all of its products under the Apollo® Valves brand. Products that had been sold under the Conbraco brand included plumbing and heating products, water gauges, pop safety and relief valves, marine fittings, and backflow prevention devices. Those lines joined the company's ball valves, actuators and mixing valves as part of the complete Apollo Valves family of products.

Nearly all Apollo® valves are produced in facilities that are second to none in the industry, including ISO-registered, state-of-the-art foundries and manufacturing facilities in Pageland and Conway, South Carolina. The company's headquarters is located in Matthews, North Carolina.

Investments in manufacturing, quality control and distribution have surpassed $100 million in the past 10 years alone. Employing "lean manufacturing" practices in plants allows the company to improve deliveries, control costs and provide better customer service.
